Shearing Layers
CarbonScape uses the following shearing layers as a default structure:

Lifecycle Phases in CarbonScape
In CarbonScape default libraries account for most carbon emissions displayed in our EPD’s. Because our materials function as “sane defaults” or generic assumptions to make carbon budgetting and steering easier we have removed transport as this is project specific.
Embodied carbon targets
Carbon targets can vary per country, as can scopes.
Biogenic carbon
Biogenic carbon refers to the carbon stored in materials. This is most common in bio-based materials such as timber. Biogenic carbon is stored in the production lifecycle (phase A) of the product and is emitted in the demolition phase (phase C) when these materials are incinerated and release the stored carbon.
Depending on LCA scopes, biogenic carbon can be substracted from the embodied carbon footprint. In CarbonScape we report biogenic carbon seperately.
